Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

Teen Crime in KC Goes Viral, Trump Escalator Intentional, Kimmel Returns, MLB Crazy Week, Gundy Out at OSU, Ryder Cup Feud

   We have so many topics today they won't all fit in the headline so hang in there as we cover it all.  We start with the epidemic of teen crime in KC as it's obvious many young thugs know they can't get in trouble.  Sunday night at a concert in KC at T-Mobile center, a large, developed, strong "minor" beat the living daylights out of an old man usher.   It's just awful.  You have to hear this story.
   It was quite a day for President Trump as he put the United Nations on blast, warned Russia and watch his would be assassin convicted on all five counts.  But as he joked about the escalator not working at the U.N., it appears to be deliberate.  We have the deets.
   Jimmy Kimmel returns and says some very nice things about Erica Kirk but also admitted he's not changing anyone's mind about anything.  So what's the point?  Why not just entertain?
   It looks like Salvy is back next year for the Royals and we dive in to a pair of other stories.  One MLB player was at Charlie Kirk's memorial as a guest of Erica and isn't apologizing to anyone for leaving his team for a bit.  And have you been watching the Royals division the last 10 days or so?  It's looking like Detroit it about to blow it and maybe miss the playoffs entirely.
   Mike Gundy is out at Oklahoma State football and he's always been one of my faves.  More drama at the Ryder Cup between Rory and Bryson.  Fans are unhappy that ESPN has added a new guest to Monday Night Football Countdown and the Missouri man that won the $1.7 billion Powerball has a plan for his future.

Kimmel is Back, Erica Inspires Us All, Trump Targets ANTIFA, Chiefs Stay Alive, Johnny Dare Rocks NASCAR, Pearl Steps Down, Ryder Cup Drama

  Jimmy Kimmel survives as Disney announces a return of his late night show Tuesday.  But at least one major station group will not be airing the show just yet.  The long term survival of this show is anything but guaranteed.
   The memorial service for Charlie Kirk was glorious to see and the words of his widow Erica serve as an inspiration to all of us
   As president Trump prepares to address the United Nations, he signs an Executive Order declaring ANTIFA a domestic terrorist group.  We'll explain why this is likely the of the road for this organization.
  Kamala blasts Trump and CEO's and absolutely nobody cares, a woman gets a surprise at Starbucks in Ohio and Spiderman  goes to the hospital.
   The Chiefs are alive after that must win victory over the Giants.  Johnny Dare is named Grand Marshall at Kansas Speedway this week, Bruce Pearl hangs it up at Auburn and the Ryder Cup already has some drama surrounding golf's greatest team event.

Two Great Chats

   Hey, the Chiefs win but that's not today's podcast.  Instead, it's a great chat with our long time friend Danni Boatwright talking about her new show on Fox Wednesday night, her career as a model and broadcaster and her great family.  Yes, she's married to a former football player and raising two teenage boys.  One of them is starting a Turning Point chapter at his high school.  This is good stuff.
   Then, a debate with first amendment attorney Bernie Rhodes from KC who says Jimmy Kimmel has a lawsuit against the FCC.  This is spicy.

Friend Details Charlie Kirk Shooting, Trump Loves UK, KC Boutique Sells Trump "Dead" Shirts, Giants Scouting Report, MU/KU Ready, Lee Sterling Picks

   The very close friend standing just a few yards away from Charlie Kirk, Frank Turek, details the mayhem when Kirk was shot and the car ride to the hospital.  This isn't for everyone but its really powerful and important and I want to share it with you.
  As Trump flew back from the UK, he slams London's mayor, trashes Ilhan Omar and expresses his deep love for our strongest ally.  He really, really wants to help make them better.
   A boutique in Mission, KS is selling shirts that read, "Is he dead yet?" and yes, they are are about Trump.  We'll give you the deets and let you go to work contacting them or telling all your friends to stay away.
   I've got a scouting report for you on the NY Giants Sunday night.  Shocker, they have an offensive weapon the Chiefs simply don't have.
    Mizzou plays South Carolina, a team with a QB that was a Heisman fave.  Turns out the Tigers may have two players now with better chances of making it to NY.
   KU is playing in London next year.  They announce the decision as they get ready for West Virginia.
   And Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with his pigskin picks.  Let's roll!

Down Goes Kimmel, Capitalism Wins Again, Listeners Bombard KU, Lawyer Blasts Rashee Rice, Another New NFL Stadium, NCAA Changes Portal, 1587 Prices Shock

   ABC Late Night host Jimmy Kimmel is off the air indefinitely and critics are blasting this as an attack on free speech.  It's everything but an attack on free speech.  Kimmel has had free reign to say whatever he wants and be so wrong and mean and pathetic for so long, this is just capitalism winning again.  I'll set this all straight for those that think he's being silenced.
   KKHI listeners just bombarded KU with calls and emails on Wednesday as Brianna Wasser is still employed.  The school rakes in over $400 million a year from federal taxpayers and says they can't get rid of a woman that called Charlie Kirk "worm food."   The feds need to get involved if the Kansas governor wants to ignore this.
   A lawyer for one of the victims in the Rashee Rice caused car crash is livid over the "Free 4" tee shirts Travis Kelce and others wore Sunday.  Wait until you hear what he has to say.
   Yet another NFL team is building a brand new NFL stadium instead of renovating.  And get this... the deal this team is getting is exactly the opposite of what the Chiefs would get in Kansas.  This team is paying 73 percent of costs and only getting 27% from the government.
   The NCAA is cleaning up the transfer portal for college football in a pretty simple way.  Salvy hits another bomb as Cole Ragans returns and in our Final Final... we'll tell you how much it costs to dine at 1587 Steakhouse.

Conservatives are Hot, KU Stands by "Worm Food" Employee, Mizzou & Starbucks Correct, Xavier Worthy May Play, Record Night at the K, US Open Cocktail Sales Stuns

   As we close in on five years of KKHI I can honestly say I've never seen a reaction from listeners like the past week. Everyone is upset and motivated after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and we all want to do something. It's inspiring for sure.  It's been mostly good news of people on the left losing their jobs after saying horrible things about this tragedy.   But KU is standing by the employee that referred to Kirk as "worm food."  This can't stand.  Let's get busy and call 785.864.2700 or email publicaffairs@ku.edu and let them know how you feel.  
   Mizzou and Starbucks get it right by having the exact same policy.  We should consider it a win and not complain about it.
   Media reports indicate Xavier Worthy is likely to play Sunday night in NY against the Giants.  If he does, it appears he will be playing with a torn labrum.
   It was a record night at Kauffman Stadium for Seattle's "Big Dumper."   He broke a record set by Mickey Mantle.  KC's Carter Jensen also had a huge night and this sure bodes well for the future.
   A single cocktail at the US Open made them enough money to pay the first place prizes for the men's and women's singles champs.  Wait until you hear how much one drink made.  And our Final Final is a celebrity that truly needs help with his TDS.

Vance and Gutfeld Unload, KU Staffer Goes Low, Trump Sues NY Times, Andy Reid's Awful Response, Chargers Take Charge, Jessica Story is Final-Final

   It's getting hotter under the collar for some conservatives in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk murder.  VP JD Vance hosted Kirk's show Monday and unloaded on people that he says he will not seek unity with and Greg Gutfeld went bonkers on Fox News.  We'll play it for you.
   A staffer at KU is in focus for referring to Charlie Kirk as "worm food" and it's impossible to see how she will keep her job.
  President Trump sues the NY Times for defamation, signs a memo to take over policing Memphis streets and blows up a Venezuelan drug boat.  Just another day.
   Andy Reid's answer about the Chiefs players that wore those pathetic "Free 4" shirts for suspended wide receiver Rashee Rice proves once again he has no clue about anything but football.  Man, for a great, great coach, he sure doesn't seem to know much about the rest of the world. 
   The Chargers go to 2-0 and are absolutely the team to beat in the AFC West.  Tom Brady is hanging out in the Raiders coaching booth during games.  KU and MU prep for big home games Saturday.
  Oh, and our Final Final today is a very funny story about Miss Jessica.

Chiefs Tush Pushed to 0-2, Offensive Woes Alarming, Taylor Swift Checks Out, MU/KSU Different Paths

   The Chiefs look lost on offense with no running game other than a scrambling Patrick Mahomes and their mission of hitting deep passes has one glaring problem.  It's something Mahomes is not good at.  Like, really not good at.  He chucks it flat and deep almost every time and the Chiefs just aren't good enough right now to cover up mistakes by Mahomes and HOF tight end Travis Kelce.
   It gets even uglier, Kelce bolted without talking to the media after his fumble cost the Chiefs this game and his fiance now has a crap show going on as she's apparently walking around Arrowhead with a rolling wall to block her from all us regular people.  Oh, we are seeing things we haven't seen before and its no fun at all.
   Stan Weber helps us break down all the problems and then we get into Mizzou's perfect start and a K-State team inf free fall.  

Breaking: Kirk Assassin in Custody, Touching Stories of Support, KC/Philly SB Rematch, Announcer Quits Chiefs, Point Spread Picks

   President Trump announces on live tv Friday morning the suspected shooter in the murder of Charlie Kirk is in custody and was turned in by a Christian Minister who had a friend in law enforcement.  There are not any further details but the stories of how they identified him and the touching stories of support are everywhere.
   The Chiefs and Eagles are set for a Super Bowl rematch and Xavier Worthy is back on the practice field.  I have a most unusual prediction for this one.
   The long time stadium announcer has quit his job with the Chiefs at Arrowhead because he says the Chiefs "crossed my red line."  Uh oh.
   The Royals are all but eliminated after blowing one in Cleveland.  And Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with our point spread picks.

Charlie Kirk Assassination Stuns America

   I woke up this morning hoping to feel something different than what I felt yesterday watching the horrific video of Charlie Kirk being murdered in cold blood for speaking his beliefs in public.   Instead, we are feeling a resolve in our profound sadness that this happens in America.
   As we record this podcast, the killer is still at large, far left crazies are getting fired right and left for celebrating the killing and Dem politicians are spewing lies that they condemn this violence.  
   You can't call a man a Nazi, a threat to democracy, a hate filled racist and a white nationalist and not expect an unhinged member of your base to take action.  This may or may not have been a part of their playbook as there's plenty of countries that are Trump enemies that could have done this, too.  But it sure feels like Democrats are happy Charlie Kirk is dead.  What a horrible day for our nation.
